Abstract:
Philip Morrison had an almost unique experience during the Manhattan Project, participating in many of the central events of building and using the atomic bomb. From late 1942 to 1946 Morrison's responsibilites took him to the University of Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, General Leslie R. Groves' Washington office, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Trinity site, Wendover Army Air Field, Tinian, Hiroshima and Hanford Engineer Works. From these vantage points he had the opportunity to meet and observe many of the intersting persons involved in the Project, and he reflects about these opportunities in the interview.
